WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW 1-26-15 Preview and Live Discussion

Well, I've read it to my son and he popped pretty huge for the ending. In his mind, I'm way more over than Reigns.

Also, this whole "WWE scripts his promos" thing is stupid. They script a lot of other guys promos and they don't come across like morons. Worst argument ever.

Not fairytales. I think we are trying to make him relevant to little kids but are taking away his beast factor. Sometimes they don't know what the fuck they're doing.

 

[Lover Boy]

I don't see how improving his mic skills helps his appeal to kids. What kid cares about that?

See Cena for an example. Kids love Cena cause he beats the bad guys and looks awesome while doing it. He relates to superhero's as he does things that don't seem possible, if Reigns just spears people and doesn't talk he will be massive with the kids.

I'm saying they have him cutting stupid promos to get him over with kids. Obviously it isn't working.

How much did Goldberg or Undertaker talk. Not alot and kids loved them. No need for him to be on the mic sounding like Porky Pig trying to remember his lines

Jesus, I'm agreeing with Charlie again. :

When I was a kid I didn't give two shits about the promo skills of a wrestler (outside of Hogan's vitamins bit and Macho Man generally being awesome), it was their in-ring that mattered to me more than anything else. I highly doubt that's changed and seeing as that's the case, Reigns with his spear and Superman punch (they even named it after a comic book character ffs) should have broad appeal to kids regardless of his mic skills. Hell, they should change up his clothes and give him a cape. :

I think his in ring skills are pretty good. If you think the superman punch and spear are his only moves I don't know what the hell you're watching.

I know that he's got other moves, I'm just saying those are the big ones that would appeal to kids.

Actually undertaker talked a lot starting in 96

Yeah in 96 so when he arrived until then he didn't say much at all.
